    #23 Risk Management in a Debasing Currency System - Sam Roberts Part 4

    In this episode of The Bitcoin IFA Podcast, Dan sits down with Sam Roberts to explore one simple but powerful question: If you’re responsible for managing other people’s money… can you afford to ignore Bitcoin? Rather than hype or price predictions, this discussion focuses on risk, fiduciary responsibility, and scenario analysis. What happens if Bitcoin goes to zero?What happens if it 10x’s?What happens if it 100x’s over 30 years?And perhaps more importantly… What happens if fiat continues to debase?What We Cover Why fiat currency is structurally designed to expandFixed supply vs unlimited supply: basic supply and demandWhy “Bitcoin to zero” is a responsible scenario to modelWhy ignoring Bitcoin may itself be reckless3–5% global adoptionThe Cantillon effect and long-term currency debasementWhy a 1–5% allocation deserves serious analysisGovernment bans, quantum computing & common objectionsIntergenerational wealth vs short-term speculationKey Quotes From This Episode “It’s worth running the numbers if it goes to zero. But it’s also worth running the numbers if it 10xs.” “As soon as you have a central power, it seems to be human nature to debase the currency.” “You compare Bitcoin against fiat — Bitcoin is better than all of them.” “I can take some responsibility myself and improve my own life by opting out of this system…”21shares Disclaimer - Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.

    #22 What if everything we know about free markets is wrong?

    Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow, spent 15,000 hours trying to disprove Bitcoin. What he discovered challenged everything he understood about free markets, risk, and the financial systems we operate within.  This conversation isn't about convincing you to believe anything – it's about examining whether the foundations we've built our careers on are as stable as we've assumed. For financial advisers seeking analytical depth rather than speculation, Jeff explains:  the difference between technologies and protocols, how Bitcoin is already solving the objections most advisers raise, and why the real risk might not be what we think it is. This is a conversation for professionals who understand that fiduciary responsibility sometimes means questioning the very systems you're operating within. 21shares Disclaimer - Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.

    #21 James Priday on Bitcoin ETNs, FCA Scrutiny, and the ISA Headache

    Bitcoin ETNs are finally “allowed” again in the UK, but advisers are not exactly throwing confetti. In this episode, Dan sits down with James Priday to unpack what’s really slowing adoption, and why the headline change does not automatically translate into real-world advice activity. You’ll hear why crypto ETNs are still treated as restricted mass market investments, what that means in practice (including appropriateness tests and criteria like high net worth or sophisticated investors), and why platforms and advice firms need extra operational and compliance controls before they get comfortable. James also breaks down the ETN vs ETF confusion and why that terminology alone can create perceived risk for advisers and clients. Then it gets properly messy when Dan raises the ISA situation, including the discussion around HMRC confirming that you’re allowed Bitcoin ETNs within an ISA. This one is not to be missed.  21shares Disclaimer - Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.

    #20 Riding Out 80% Drawdowns: Scott Ellam’s Case for Corporate Bitcoin Adoption

    In this episode, Dan sits down with Scott Ellam, CEO and founder of XCE, to explore how a traditional executive recruitment firm became one of the first publicly listed companies built around a Bitcoin treasury strategy.  For financial advisers, this conversation offers a clear, real-world example of how Bitcoin can function inside a regulated business, how volatility can be managed, and why ignoring the asset may soon risk losing clients, assets and talent. Scott walks through his journey from discovering Bitcoin in 2016 to building a four-year corporate treasury that held firm through an 80% drawdown. He explains why the volatility never shook his conviction, how denominating the balance sheet in Bitcoin became a long-term strategic choice, and what ultimately led to the IPO. The discussion also covers how XCE handles global payments across the US, Europe and the Middle East, the practical advantages of using Bitcoin and stablecoins, and why network effects inside traditional industries may accelerate corporate adoption sooner than expected. Scott outlines how talent attraction, share-option structures and a Bitcoin-experienced board support the firm’s growth model. For advisers seeking to understand the operational side of Bitcoin — rather than abstract theory — this episode provides a grounded, accessible view of how one company applied it through volatile markets and into a public listing. 21shares Disclaimer - Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.

    #19 Inside the UK’s Most Successful IPO of the Year: A Bitcoin Treasury Explained

    In this episode, Andrew Webley — Founder and CEO of The Smarter Web Company — discusses how a long-established UK business chose to list on the Aquis Stock Exchange while holding Bitcoin as a core part of its treasury. He talks through the reasoning behind the listing, the regulatory limits that define what a UK company can do with Bitcoin, and the practical framework his team uses to measure and manage their position.  The conversation explores concepts such as Bitcoin-per-share, MNAV, liquidity, and dilution — and why these metrics can reshape how a public company’s balance sheet and growth strategy are interpreted. Andrew also reflects on the common assumptions people make about Bitcoin, the areas where understanding tends to fall short, and what traditional treasury management may overlook when compared to a Bitcoin-based approach. This episode offers a clear, thought-provoking look at how one listed company is navigating an emerging financial structure — and why its choices may prompt a re-examination of risk, compounding, and long-term planning. 21shares Disclaimer - Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.

    #18 Sam Roberts (Part 3) The Tax Trap, the Pound’s Future, and the Rise of Bitcoin Treasury Companies

    In this episode, Dan and Sam Roberts dive into one of the most important conversations in UK finance right now — the dynamic between rising taxes, falling productivity, and what happens when a government edges itself into a corner. From the Laffer Curve to the realities of government spending, they examine why markets react the way they do, why wealth moves the way it does, and why an increasing number of individuals, companies, and even charities are preparing for a world where the pound may not hold its value in the way it used to. They explore: – The unintended consequences of tax rises – Why mobility of capital matters more than ever – What happens when governments hit the limits of money printing – How businesses can build resilience in a devaluing currency environment – The rapid evolution of Bitcoin treasury companies, and why 2025 has been a turning point It’s a grounded, insightful conversation for advisers trying to make sense of the economic direction of travel. No sensationalism — simply clear thinking on complex issues, and a look at the strategies that may matter most in the years ahead. 21shares Disclaimer - Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.

    #17 From Skepticism to Strategy: Bringing Bitcoin Into Regulated Advice

    In this episode of The Bitcoin IFA, we sit down with Dominic McLoughney, Chartered Financial Planner at Becketts, to explore how financial advisers can navigate the fast-evolving world of Bitcoin within the framework of regulated advice. Dom shares his journey from initial scepticism to becoming one of his firm’s leading voices on digital assets. Together, we discuss the education gap, the regulatory grey areas, and why the FCA’s recent moves may reshape how advisers talk about — and eventually allocate to — Bitcoin. It’s a candid, nuanced conversation about trust, bias, risk, and opportunity in the advisory profession — and what it really takes to guide clients responsibly in a new asset class. 21shares Disclaimer - Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.
